Today is the 10 year anniversary of my mother’s death and I find myself having dual emotions. I feel an aching in my heart because I miss her so much, yet my heart is full of love for my family and friends. I think this year is harder as it’s the first time my house has been empty. My youngest, Brian if off to college and my oldest, Brianna is teaching college. ( talk about duality) My husband and I have never lived alone and we are truly enjoying our time together, yet both of us miss our kids. I find myself feeling sad and happy at the same time.
Mom and Brian
Today I am remembering my mother and feeling so much gratitude for all of the memories I have of her.
I remember when:
- You would laugh until you cried
- Your generosity
- Your love for Pepsi and Lays potato chips
- Your smile
- Turning the music up and dancing
- How much you loved to watch football ( Go Buffalo Bills!)
- How much you loved Christmastime
- How proud you were of your grandchildren
- When I would hold your hand at the doctors
- How you trusted me to help you with your medical care
- How you never complained, no matter how much pain you were having
- How you collected coins, dolls, & new dollar bills
- Your love for shopping and a good sale
- Our traditional Black Friday shopping- even in your wheel chair- and especially our last one where you able to walk again
- Your love for Elvis Presley
- The last time I told you I loved you
“Love me Tender”, By Elvis Presley

And well never part.
